In marking up a collection of poetry by Amy Levy, I came across two oddities
that I don't know how to handle--any suggestion will be gratefully accepted.
 
1)  One of her poems has a bar of music beneath the title.  As I have a tin
ear, I'm not sure just how the music is meant to accompany the verse, since
there isn't enough music to cover even one of the stanzas.  Anyway, I looked
through P3 for some kind of guidelines for musical notation, but don't find
any.  Any suggestions?
 
2)  One of her poems has 14 four-line stanzas.  After the sixth stanza, there
is a line of asterisks dividing it from the seventh.  There is a clear
difference in tone between the two groupings, sort of like a sonnet's sestet
and octet, but with stanzas instead of lines.  I would like to note this
grouping somehow--would I use lg1 and lg2 to mark the stanzas and larger
grouping?
